I'm curious about your take on a potential scenario where the flow up is terminated but the flow-down remains in effect, and the current CPS pilots who've been living under the threat of a flowdown/furlough scenario for the last two years have the agreement terminated when on the verge of flowing up. Do you see the DAL MEC expending any effort whatsoever to prevent such a scenario from happening? I would hope so but as someone else posted, rather doubt they'll spent the postage to send us a condolence letter.
Let me see. Threat of a DFR if you were on our MEC? Yep, because no matter what Lee did he would get sued. (Not just him as a person but the DAL MEC and the simple fact is that the DAL MEC wanted to represent the DAL pilots interest solely and not play to two masters) Seems to mean that your MEC represents you and ours represents us.
Just food for though. Now is the last time you want to start throwing grenades at the DAL MEC.
I may not have liked what we did with the CPS Question, but Pratter sent the question to DALPA and we gave a suggestion. National Acted upon it. Those are the facts, and the facts are that given the fact that DALPA was representing a pilot group that had a separate PWA from ours and would be in section six talks at the same time, it would have made a DFR case a certainty if we wanted to take back scope or even talk about it.
Whether or not I agreed at the time, their points held legal and representation merit. It did nothing for unity, but it fulfilled the DALPA MEC's primary obligation to represent the best interest of ALL Delta pilots not just the bottom 400.
